This paper proposes a dielectrophoretic (DEP) liquid lens that is driven by interdigitated electrodes distributed on the sidewalls and has a structure similar to that of the electrowetting one produced by the company Corning. The interdigital electrodes are formed by winding double flexible wire electrodes wrapped in dielectric layers on the sidewall. Compared with the traditional planar electrode DEP lens, the proposed model ensures the stability of the optical axis of the liquid lens, simplifies the construction process of the interdigital electrode, realizes a continuous change in the focus from negative to positive, and reduces the response time. A truncated conical cavity dielectrophoretic liquid lens with an aperture of 5 mm is fabricated. When the voltage is 0-260 V, it can reach shortest negative and positive focal lengths of -100 mm and 100 mm with a driving time of 190 ms and a relaxation time of 133 ms.

Lubrication surfaces reduce the risk of cross-contamination and enhance the long-term stability of medical devices, which holds significance in the realm of antifouling medical materials. However, the complexity of constructing micronano structures to immobilize lubricating fluids and the fluorine content typically found in silane coupling agents restrict their widespread adoption. In this study, we prepared a biomimetic lubricating coating (BLC) through the one-step self-assembly of octadecyltrichlorosilane and oil infusion.

Electromagnetic radiation energy at millimeter wave frequencies, typically 30 GHz to 300 GHz, is ubiquitously used in society in devices for telecommunications; radar and imaging systems for vehicle collision avoidance, security screening, and medical equipment; scientific research tools for spectroscopy; industrial applications for non-destructive testing and precise measurement; and military and defense applications. Understanding the biological effects of this technology is essential. We have been investigating ocular responses and damage thresholds comparing various frequencies using rabbit eyes and dedicated experimental apparatus.

This review examines the history of contact lens (CL) care products, particularly focusing on hard contact lenses (HCLs) like those made from polymethyl methacrylate and rigid gas permeable (RGP) materials. Although literature on CL history is extensive, there is limited information on the history of CL care products, especially in Japan. This review uses advertisements from the Journal of the Japan Contact Lens Society from 1959 to 2023 to trace the evolution of these products.

Objectives: To assess the reliability of the liquid jet esthesiometer (LJA) for measurement of corneal sensitivity.
Methods: Two separate studies were conducted to assess intrasession repeatability (study 1) and intersession reproducibility (study 2) of corneal sensitivity measured using the LJA. Thirty participants (13 female and 17 male participants, age 23±6 years) participated in study 1 and another 30 (18 female and 12 male participants, 35±10 years) participated in study 2.

Article Synopsis
- Lubricant-mediated surfaces face challenges like lubricant loss and poor clarity for antifouling purposes.
- Inspired by globefish skin, slippery Liquid-Like Surfaces (LLSs) use cyclodextrin-eugenol complexes and flexible silicone chains to effectively kill attached organisms and prevent fouling.
- LLSs show excellent antifouling and mechanical properties while maintaining transparency in various water environments, lasting up to 90 days on coated lenses in seawater.
